Should I get CAT SL-1 mkII updated to mkIII?
R U sure that is the price for upgrade to 3? I thought it was 1200. The 700 is for 1 to 2--1600 if you have a 1 to 3 at the same time.--Maybe they have changed the price---?? 
Tara Labs Master Gen 2+ speaker cable
I had master/ref. gen 2 about 10 years ago. I just looked at an add/W/pic, for mast. gen.2--in the adds new-today ---That isn't what mine looked like. My pair sold for 1800 back then. The jackets for mine were clear and you could see the copper wi...

Hey Slappy;----Don't be slammin' my car. It took a while but I finally got it pad off.----Over the years I've had various pieces, Sophia amp most recently, and they add nothing to the sound so why waste a tree for that???---Count me as " strongly-...

Ok, I've never owned the speakers----BUT--- the speaker wires are 12/15 years old and weren't all that good;back then.---I did own the wires and have upgraded many times since---all for the better.-- Try to borrow some wires from a friend and see ... 
Int-Amp to drive Acoustat 1+1 speakers
Kehut said it well. Back in '81 or so this speaker driven by Mcintosh ss with a linn/ koetsu-rosewood, was the best I had ever heard at that time. For years 'that' sound was my benchmark. 
Amp for my speakers, PLEASE HELP
I'm not sure if this will be understood. It is just my opinion. 300b's and 845's don't have a lot of power. Good 300b's/and 845's can cost much more than 1k;used. Whereas, a decent triode amp will cover the highs and lows better---for less money.(...

Custom Power Cord Company
I used 2 for monoblocks---plugged into an AM Stealth. It was like my CJ 5's were on steroids.--(And refused testing;as per their attorney) I also have the 4-input power block;and that ain't chopped liver (for front end devices)--for the money. The... 
Amp for my speakers, PLEASE HELP
I think for your budget a more powerful triode amp would make more music.---Save up and get a quality 300b amp----Unless this system is in a very small room and never gets pushed. 
Spade's Or Banana's on Double run from Integrated
Well my friend you have one of the best speakers on the planet for around 5k used. I had the EPS;its predecessor and it responds well to 2 runs of cable. Like Theo states, one set in spades and one set in bananas. 
General transport Question
Kind of the catch 22. Yes, a better cable will/might help a lesser/unmodified player---but that same cable will help the better transport-only setup, as well. Don't underestimate the benifit of a quality transport.IMO, one could use the so so tt w... 
Do I need better center ch speaker-dialog unclear?
I use a Lowther single driver center speaker with a DX3 driver. You can't imagine how clear dialog is from this speaker. I live in an apt-(no sub) and never crank it so dialog intelligbility is important to me. 
parasound 3500 verses parasond jc1
Having just read the review of the original 3500 from 5 years ago, they say the bass is its strong suit and the mids and highes are where the improveent should be.(Jan.00)
